Claim 17

A method according to claim 14, wherein the first node is programmed to include a virtual program controlled computer corresponding to said program controlled computer said second node; the first node allocates an IA-number to its virtual program controlled computer and sends the IA-number to the second node; and the second node establishes a connection with the first node while using the IA-number and connects its program controlled computer to said connection.

Claim 18

A method according to claim 14, wherein the temporary interaction number is transmitted over a signalling network.

Claim 19

A method according to claim 14, wherein the second node passes the temporary interaction number to a third node; and the third node initiates the establishment of a connection to the first node with the use of the transmitted, temporary interaction number.

Claim 20

A method according to claim 14, wherein the first and second telecommunication networks are a common network, and that the third telecommunication network is a network different from the common network.

Claim 21

A method in accordance with claim 14, said first node comprising an item selected from the group that consists of a hardware equipment, a program controlled computer and a program, said item desiring cooperation with said program controlled computer in said second node, wherein said method comprises the further step of: assigning at said first node said temporary interaction to the selected item and upon reception of said connection, connecting said selected item to said connection.

Claim 22

A method according to claim 19, said method further comprising the step of: marking said selected item in said first node as occupied to all parties with the exception of the program controlled computer that uses said temporary interaction number reserved for the desired cooperation.

Claim 23

A method according to claim 19, said method further comprising the steps of: including in the temporary interaction number a node address plus a temporary individual identifier; choosing the temporary individual identifier from a number series which is internal for the first node and is held secret; receiving, in said first node, an incoming call using said interaction number; transmitting, over the connection at which said incoming call arrives to said first node, said individual identifier to said first node; identifying, in said first node, said individual identifier of said incoming call; and connecting the incoming call using said identifier with the program controlled computer assigned to said individual identifier.
